Update 1.9 and 1.9.1 Now Available

New updates to Primal Carnage: Extinction have been released! These updates will be applied automatically when you restart Steam or next launch the game. The major changes include:


We have added a new Challenge System which assigns you 3 random challenges per week. Completing challenges will reward you with a random cosmetic item.

Challenge progress and items unlocked by completing them will now be displayed at the end of each round on a new info screen. Holding the Tab key will swap to displaying the scoreboard. Over the next few updates we're going to look at expanding this system with exciting new challenges and rewards.

WARNING: Challenge progress is only updated and saved at the end of every round. Leave early, and you will lose any unsaved progress. Challenges are only valid in TDM & GTTC modes.


Humans now have two voice commands at their disposal: Call For Help (Z) and Call To Follow (C). Both commands have a 5 second cooldown to prevent abuse and also display the command as an event in the player chat.


Servers can now host player-created custom maps. If a server is hosting a custom map, players must subscribe to that map on the Workshop before being able to join it. Future updates will bring enhanced functionality to this new feature.

Dedicated servers subscribe to Workshop maps by adding something like this to DefaultGame.ini:

[Workshop.WorkshopInformation]
+SubscribedItems="672162366"

Each +SubscribedItem id number is taken from the workshop map's URL.


You can unlock a selection of hot new community-created skins in this August's Workshop Crate, dropping now! Also, check out the "DinoStore" for the new community-made Royal Dilo Pack.
